JOCK OF THE BUSHVELD

Longmans. 1907 London, 1st edn, 474pp, profuse drawings. A very good plus copy, gilt bright, cloth bright, everything straight. Internally some foxing. Former owner (period) name on front free end paper in black ink. Item #001076

Story of a man and his dog (an Arendale terrier) and their adventures and hunts in South Africa. Excellent reading. The illustrations by Caldwell alone are worth the price--there are drawn illustrations on every page! One of the most enduring and constantly in demand Africana books and with good reason. It is said to have never been out of print since 1907. This must be an endorsement of the quality of the story which contains hunting, adventure and trekking with ox wagons. A must for all interested in good reading and African hunting and adventure.

Price: $950.00
